Nesco VS-02
Rating: Rated 3.0 stars - Average Price: $64.06 - CHECK PRICE

The Nesco VS-02 is a budget priced model that should really only be purchased by people who are going to use it very infrequently. We have a hard time looking past the low quality construction and materials and feel the NutriChef PKVS18SL is much better choice for a very similar price.

Nesco VS-02 Review

The Nesco VS-02 is a budget priced Vacuum Sealer that's best suited to someone who's only going to use it occasionally. It has on-board bag roll storage and a cutter, which is something you usually only find on higher priced FoodSaver Vacuum Sealers. It can seal wet and dry foods, and has food settings controls. The company claims you can use the stop button to seal delicate foods, but it's really not a substitute for a dedicated pulse button. To operate the unit, you place the bag on the sealing bar, close the lid until you hear it click, then you press either seal or vacuum. The controls are easy to understand and use. There are some negative points to be aware of before purchasing this model.

We have some serious concerns about recommending this this model to most people. Our biggest issue is the feel and quality of construction, it felt cheap and flimsy and a lot less durable than almost everything else we looked at. It's a manual sealing process which is a lot less convenient than the automatic sealers we reviewed. There is an accessory port, but adding an Accessory Hose is an add-on purchase. For almost the same price as this model, you can get the NutriChef PKVS18SL which is a much better value.
